What does that mean -
"a modern first-century church?" To us, it is very important.
Let's break it down one part at a time:
1) Modern
- We live in a modern world and relevance is the key to our methods and
our message.
2)
First-Century – From studying the life and writings of the
first-century church, we understand that the followers of Christ
committed themselves to fellowship, prayer, breaking of bread, and the
apostle’s teachings.
The first century church, although certainly not perfect, was basically
pure in their faith in regard to Christ and their love for one
another. That was a time, for the most part, when there were very
few if any religious forms added to worship. For example: an
unhealthy emphasis on buildings; needless costuming; unwarranted
positions of honor; adopting and instituting man-made teachings, and
even redefining the meaning of “the church.”
3) Church
- We all have an image of what "church" looks like. So for one moment
set aside your image of church and take a walk with us. Come in on
Sunday morning and see some real smiles and friendly faces. Help
yourself to free donuts, coffee. Find a seat in our cafe style meeting
area and enjoy your continental breakfast. Connect with the speaker
(not always the pastor) opening up the Bible and taking a real-life
look at what these words mean to us today. Join in (if you want) with
acoustic-style praise and people around you as we worship God with
passion and authenticity. And then come out and have lunch with us
after church and dive into this community. The believers are "the
church" and "service" is what we do and we are called to be 'servants'.
We want you to come check it out for yourself. Stop by some Sunday
morning and say hi. For the where and when of it all, click here.
We value the community around us and our relationships with each other.
